---------------------------------------
Summary: Provide a means of obfuscating database passwords in
properties.xml and global-properties.xml
Key: CONNECTORS-1075
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1075
Project: ManifoldCF
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Framework core
Affects Versions: Manifold 1.7.1
Reporter: Karl Wright
Assignee: Karl Wright
Fix For: ManifoldCF 1.8, ManifoldCF 2.0
Obfuscating properties.xml entries would be designed to prohibit casual
acquisition of database passwords.
The proposal would be to have a dual property fetch, as follows. For a
potentially-obfuscated property "x", the code would first look for
"x.obfuscated". If that property was found, it would de-obfuscate the results.
If not found, it would look for the property "x", and use those results
un-obfuscated.
The full implementation of this ticket will also require support for
command-line invocation of the Obfuscate class, so that obfuscated passwords
can be generated. The scripts supporting this would be delivered in a manner
similar to that of the scripting engine.
